National media consultant Miranda Bishop will give her top tips to help businesses in Gwent improve their use of social media when she addresses the Torfaen Business Exhibition on Wednesday, May 17.

As well as running her own social media consultancy, Miranda was part of the highly successful Ignite team, putting on inspiring talks to thousands of people, and also co-founded Re:Program, a supportive series of events for women in the technology and digital sector.

At 28 she is one of the youngest women on the national speaking circuit.

She joins BBC Wales’s business correspondent Brian Meechan as part of a packed programme that includes a networking breakfast, trade stands and workshops.

Dennis Ricketts, chair of Torfaen Business Voice, said: “We are delighted that Miranda is able to join us for our business exhibition. She is in high demand on the speaker circuit and her social media expertise will add a different flavour to our line-up of speakers.

“The Torfaen Business Exhibition is an excellent opportunity for businesses in the Gwent area to showcase their services, network, make new connections and hear from some fantastic speakers.”

The business exhibition takes place at Cwmbran Stadium on May 17 from 9am until 1pm.

Entry to the exhibition is free, although booking is essential, while stands start from £80. Entry and stands can be booked via www.southwalesbusiness.co.uk/en/Business-Club/TBVExhibition2017/TBVExhibition.aspx
